INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report of Anchor Glass Container Corporation (Anchor or the
Company) includes ''forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate
or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words
''believe, ''anticipate, ''expect, ''estimate, ''intend, ''project,
''will be, ''will likely continue, ''will likely result, or words or
phrases of similar meaning including, among other things, statements
concerning:



| |  |  | the Companys liquidity and capital resources;                                          
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | competitive pressures and trends in the glass container or beverage and food industries;
|
| |  |  | prevailing interest rates;                                                              
|
| |  |  | prices for energy, particularly natural gas, and other raw materials;                   
|
| |  |  | legal proceedings and regulatory matters; and                                           
|
| |  |  | general economic conditions.                                                            

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but
not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors
outside the control of the Company, that may cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
may include the highly competitive nature of the glass container industry and
the intense competition from makers of alternative forms of packaging;
fluctuations in the price of natural gas; the Companys focus on the beer
industry and its dependence on certain key customers; the seasonal nature of
brewing and other beverage industries; volatility in the demand from emerging
new markets; the Companys dependence on certain executive officers; and
changes in environmental and other government regulations. The Company
operates in a changing environment in which new risk factors can emerge from
time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all of these risks,
nor can it assess the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors,
may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1  Basis of Presentation

Organization of the Company

On August 30, 2002, Anchor, a Delaware corporation, completed a
restructuring of its existing debt and equity securities pursuant to a plan of
reorganization (the Plan) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code. Certain investment funds and managed accounts affiliated with Cerberus
Capital Management, L.P. (Cerberus) acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Anchor through their investment in Anchor Glass Container Holding
L.L.C. (AGC Holding), a Delaware limited liability company formed in August
2002 and the parent company of Anchor. As of March 31, 2003, AGC Holding owns
approximately 95% of the outstanding common stock and 100% of the outstanding
Series C Participating Preferred Stock of Anchor. Certain current officers and
a former officer of Anchor hold the remaining outstanding shares of common
stock of Anchor.

Condensed Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of March 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

The effective date of the Companys Plan was August 30, 2002. The
financial statements of the Company as of and for periods subsequent to August
31, 2002 are referred to as the Reorganized Company statements. All financial
statements prior to that date are referred to as the Predecessor Company
statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. Subject to the limitations on
comparability indicated in the preceding paragraph, it is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of Anchor included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.

Certain amounts of prior periods in the accompanying condensed financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 2  Senior Secured Notes

Effective February 7, 2003, the Company completed an offering of 11%
Senior Secured Notes due 2013, aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the
Senior Secured Notes), issued under an indenture dated as of February 7,
2003, among the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the Indenture).
The Senior Secured Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company, ranking
equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to all future
subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Senior Secured Notes are secured
by a first priority lien, subject to certain permitted encumbrances, on
substantially all of Anchors existing real property, equipment and other fixed
assets relating to Anchors nine operating glass container manufacturing
facilities. The collateral does not include inventory, accounts receivables or
intangible assets.

Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, net of fees, were
approximately $289,000 and were used to repay 100% of the principal amount
outstanding under Anchors 11.25% First Mortgage Notes due 2005, aggregate
principal amount of $150,000 (First Mortgage Notes) plus accrued interest

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

thereon ($156,256 in total), 100% of the principal amount outstanding
under the senior secured term loan (the Term Loan) plus accrued interest
thereon and a prepayment fee ($20,354 in total) and advances then outstanding
under the $100,000 credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) ($66,886),
which included funds for certain of the Companys capital improvement projects.
The remaining proceeds of approximately $45,000 were used to terminate certain
equipment leases by purchasing from the respective lessors the equipment leased
thereunder.

Interest on the Senior Secured Notes accrues at 11% per annum and is
payable semiannually on each February 15 and August 15 to registered holders of
the Senior Secured Notes at the close of business on the February 1 and August
1 immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. The first
interest payment date is August 15, 2003.

The Senior Secured Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the
Companys option on or after February 15, 2008, at redemption prices listed in
the Indenture. At any time (which may be more than once) before February 15,
2006, the Company can choose to redeem up to 35% of the initial outstanding
notes with money raised in one or more public equity offerings, at redemption
prices listed in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence
of a change of control, the Company will be required to offer to purchase all
of the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.

The Indenture, subject to certain exceptions, restricts the Company from
taking various actions, including, but not limited to, subject to specified
exceptions, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the payment of dividends
and other restricted payments, the granting of additional liens, mergers,
consolidations and sale of assets and transactions with affiliates.

The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement on February 7,
2003. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to register with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, exchange notes having substantially identical terms as the Senior
Secured Notes. In connection therewith, a registration statement was filed on
April 11, 2003.

NOTE 3  Equity Incentive Plan

In October 2002, the Board of Directors of Anchor (the Board) approved
an Equity Incentive Plan, designed to motivate and retain individuals who are
responsible for the attainment of the Companys primary long-term performance
goals that covers employees, directors and consultants. The plan provides for
the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options and restricted
stock for shares of Anchor common stock to participants of the plan selected by
the Board or a committee of the Board (the Administrator). Effective January
9, 2003, the Administrator granted a total of 200,000 non-qualified stock
options to selected participants. The terms and conditions of awards, as
determined by the Administrator, are as follows: 50% of an option grant vests
1/3 on the first anniversary of the grant date, 1/3 on the second anniversary
of the grant date and 1/3 on the third anniversary of the grant date; and the
remaining 50% of the option grant vests in three tranches of equal amounts on
the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date if the Company
attains certain performance targets established by the Board.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148  Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of Statement
No. 123 (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123  Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company has adopted the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under SFAS 123 by applying
the prospective method

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)of accounting, under which the Company applies the recognition provisions
to all employee awards granted after the beginning of 2003. The following table

Salaried employees of the Company participated in an incentive stock
option plan of Anchors former indirect parent. These options, which have been
cancelled, generally had a life of 10 years and vested ratably over three
years. The Company elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees in accounting for these options in
the three months ended March 31, 2002.

NOTE 4  Commitments and Contingencies

In September 2001, The National Bank of Canada, acting on its own behalf
and on behalf of PNC Bank, filed a complaint, in Allegheny Common Pleas Court,
against Anchor, GGC L.L.C. (GGC), Consumers U.S., Inc. (the Companys former
parent) and certain other former affiliates of Anchor. The complaint alleged,
among other things, fraudulent conveyances made by GGC to Anchor and tortious
interference with the contractual relationship between the bank and
GGC and seeks monetary damages. The
action will be heard in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Florida. The Company believes it is remote that the
outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its
financial position or results of operations. A trial date is scheduled for September 2003.

In addition, the Company is, and from time to time may be, a party to
routine legal proceedings incidental to the operation of its business. The
outcome of any pending or threatened proceedings is not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or cash
flows of the Company, based on the Companys current understanding of the
relevant facts. Legal expenses incurred related to these contingencies are
generally expensed as incurred.

The Companys operations are subject to federal, state and local
requirements that are designed to protect the environment. Such requirements
have resulted in the Company being involved in related legal proceedings,
claims and remediation obligations. Based on the Companys current
understanding of the relevant facts, the Company does not believe that its
environmental exposure is in excess of the reserves reflected on its balance
sheet, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Company Background

The Company is the third largest manufacturer of glass containers in the
United States, focused solely on this packaging industry segment. The Company
has nine strategically located facilities where it produces a diverse line of
flint (clear), amber, green and other colored glass containers of various
types, designs and sizes for the beer, flavored alcoholic beverages,
non-alcoholic beverages, liquor and food markets. The Company manufactures and
sells its products to many of the leading producers of products in these
categories.

Senior Secured Notes Offering

On February 7, 2003, the Company completed an offering of $300.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2013, issued under
the Indenture. The Senior Secured Notes are senior secured obligations of the
Company, ranking equal in right of payment with all existing and future
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to
all future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Senior Secured Notes
are secured by a first priority lien, subject to certain permitted
encumbrances, on substantially all of Anchors existing real property,
equipment and other fixed assets relating to Anchors nine operating glass
container manufacturing facilities. The collateral does not include inventory,
accounts receivables or intangible assets.

Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, net of fees, were
approximately $289.0 million and were used to repay 100% of the principal
amount outstanding under the First Mortgage Notes plus accrued interest thereon
(approximately $156.3 million in total), 100% of the principal amount
outstanding under the Term Loan plus accrued interest thereon and a prepayment
fee (approximately $20.4 million in total) and advances then outstanding under
the Revolving Credit Facility (approximately $66.9 million), which included
funds for certain of the Companys capital improvement projects. The remaining
proceeds of approximately $45.0 million were used to terminate certain
equipment leases by purchasing from the respective lessors the equipment leased
thereunder.

Reorganization

On August 30, 2002, Anchor consummated a significant restructuring of its
existing debt and equity securities through a Chapter 11 reorganization (the
Reorganization). As part of this Reorganization, Cerberus, through certain
Cerberus-affiliated funds and managed accounts, invested $80.0 million of new
equity capital into Anchor, acquiring 100% of Anchors Series C Participating
Preferred Stock for $75.0 million and 100% of Anchors Common Stock for $5.0
million. In addition, Anchor arranged for a $20.0 million Term Loan from Ableco
Finance LLC (which was subsequently repaid with a portion of the proceeds from
the offering of the Senior Secured Notes). In connection with the
restructuring, Anchor also put in place a new $100.0 million Revolving Credit
Facility. In addition, Anchor settled various lawsuits, eliminated certain
related party claims and contracts and entered into an agreement with the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation settling Anchors outstanding pension
liability (the PBGC Agreement).

The Reorganization was consummated on August 30, 2002; however, for
accounting purposes, the Company has accounted for the reorganization and fresh
start adjustments as of August 31, 2002, to coincide with its normal financial
closing for the month of August. The Companys financial statements as of and
for periods subsequent to August 31, 2002 are referred to as the ''Reorganized
Company statements. All financial statements prior to that date are referred
to as the ''Predecessor Company statements.

Results of Operations

Net sales.Net sales for the first quarter of 2003 were $162.4 million
compared to $178.4 million for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in net
sales of approximately $16.0 million was principally the result of a decrease
in unit shipments of approximately 9% in the three months ended March 31, 2003
as compared with the same period of 2002. A significant percentage of the
volume and net sales dollar decline was experienced in the flavored alcoholic
beverages product line. The negative impact on sales, especially in the
beverage and beer segments, the Company believes, were due to the softness in
the economy, the effect of the military action against Iraq and the harsh
weather conditions experienced this winter in certain locations of the U.S. The
Company does not expect these effects to be on-going.

Cost of products sold.Cost of products sold in the first quarter of 2003
was $152.9 million, or 94.1% of net sales, while the cost of products sold for
the first quarter of 2002 was $164.6 million, or 92.3% of net sales. This
decline in margin in 2003 principally was due to the increase in the cost of
natural gas, the principal fuel for manufacturing glass, of approximately $5.4
million in the first three months of 2003, as compared with the same period of
2002, and the decline in sales noted above. The Company also incurred costs
associated with downtime during the capital improvement project at the
Henryetta, Oklahoma facility in the first quarter of 2003 and during the
modernization project at the Elmira, New York facility in the first quarter of
2002. In addition, the margin was impacted by cost increases, especially for
depreciation, offset by additional manufacturing efficiencies due to the
Companys cost reduction efforts.

Selling and administrative expenses.Selling and administrative expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $6.7 million, or 4.1% of net
sales, while selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2002 were $7.7 million, or 4.3% of net sales. Selling and
administrative expenses declined as a result of lower personnel and benefit
costs and lower professional fees incurred in the first quarter of 2003 as
compared with the first quarter of 2002.

Interest expense.Interest expense for the three months ended March 31,
2003 was $14.1 million compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2002, an increase of $6.9 million. A noncash write-off of
approximately $3.6 million, for deferred fees related to debt repaid with
proceeds from the Senior Secured Notes, was included in interest expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2003. Increased interest expense of the Senior
Secured Notes approximated $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2003. Interest
expense components with no comparable charge in the same period of 2002
included approximately $1.4 million of interest related to the PBGC Agreement,
a $0.3 million penalty for the Term Loan prepayment and an approximately $0.4
million consent fee paid to the First Mortgage Note holders. Interest expense,
not recurring in 2003, included an approximately $1.2 million accrual of
interest on the Senior Notes (which were repaid on August 30, 2002). The
increase was also partially offset by lower average interest rates and lower
average borrowings outstanding under the Companys Revolving Credit Facility in
2003.

Net loss.The Company recorded a net loss of $11.9 million for the first
quarter of 2003. The charge to interest was approximately $4.3 million for the
write off of deferred fees for debt repaid with proceeds from the Senior
Secured Notes and other related payments, leaving a loss of $7.6 million
attributable to all other operations. The Company recorded a net loss of $0.2
million in the first quarter of 2002. The decline in earnings for the first
quarter of 2003 was due to lower sales volumes during the quarter and the
increase in the cost of natural gas.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companys principal sources of liquidity are funds derived from
operations and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company
believes that cash flows from operating activities combined with available
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to support
its operations and liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, although
the Company cannot be assured that this will be the case. Peak operating needs
are in the spring, at which time working capital borrowings are significantly
higher than at other times of the year.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities.Operating activities consumed $21.7 million in cash
in the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to cash provided of $20.6
million in the three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase in cash
consumed reflects the decline in earnings of approximately $7.6 million and
changes in working capital items. Inventory levels increased approximately
$18.8 million and current liabilities declined approximately $15.9 million from
year-end 2002 levels. Although the Company has historically built inventory in
the first quarter of the year, it also built slightly higher than normal
inventory levels in this first quarter of 2003, as a result of the lower
shipment volume in the quarter caused by the effects of the temporary softness
in the economy and winter weather. In addition, as a result of higher natural
gas prices, net cash outlays for natural gas purchases in the three months
ended March 31, 2003 increased approximately $5.4 million as compared to the
same period of 2002. Furthermore, interest payments in the first quarter of
2003 were approximately $9.9 million, as compared to approximately $1.1 million
in the first quarter of 2002.

Investing Activities.Cash consumed in investing activities was $64.5
million in the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $25.5 million
in the same period of 2002. Capital expenditures were $35.2 million in the
first quarter of 2003, as compared to $26.8 million in the first quarter of
2002. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company completed a $28.0 million
project at its Henryetta, Oklahoma facility, including approximately $11.8
million to expand and improve overall productive capacity. In the first quarter
of 2002, the Company invested approximately $16.6 million in the modernization
project at the Elmira, New York facility, which was completed in the
first quarter of 2002. The Company used approximately $45.0 million of the proceeds
from the offering of the Senior Secured Notes to terminate certain equipment
leases by purchasing from the respective lessors the equipment leased
thereunder. In addition, the Company financed $10.0 million of equipment under
its master lease agreement.

Financing Activities.Net cash provided in financing activities was $86.1
million in the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $4.5 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2002. The net financing activities in 2003
principally reflect the offering of $300.0 million of Senior Secured Notes and
repayment of the First Mortgage Notes, the Term Loan and advances then
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. See OverviewSenior Secured
Notes Offering.

Debt and Other Contractual Obligations

In February 2003, the Company completed an offering of 11% Senior Secured
Notes. See OverviewSenior Secured Notes Offering.

Under the Companys master lease, entered into in December 2002, the
Company could lease equipment from time to time until March 31, 2003, in an
amount not to exceed $20.0 million in the aggregate. The master lease agreement
is structured as a capital lease under GAAP. For each group of equipment items
the Company agreed to lease, it entered into an equipment schedule that applied
the terms of the master lease to such equipment. The Company financed $10.0
million of equipment in December 2002 and an additional $10.0 million of
equipment in late March 2003, each under a lease term of five years.

In August 2002 in connection with the Reorganization, the Company entered
into a ten-year payment obligation under the PBGC Agreement. The Company is
required to make monthly payments to the PBGC in the amount of $833,333.33. The
present value of this obligation was approximately $63.9 million at March 31,
2003.

As of May 8, 2003, advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility were approximately $40.5 million, borrowing availability was
approximately $38.4 million and outstanding letters of credit on this facility
were approximately $8.0 million.

The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first
priority security interest in all of the Companys inventories, receivables,
general intangibles and proceeds therefrom. In addition, the Revolving Credit
Facility contains customary negative covenants and restrictions for
transactions

including, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness, liens,
investments, fundamental business changes, asset dispositions outside of the
ordinary course of business, certain junior payments, transactions with
affiliates and changes relating to indebtedness. The Revolving Credit Facility
requires that the Company meet a quarterly fixed charge coverage test, unless
minimum availability declines below $10.0 million in which case the Company
must meet a monthly fixed charge coverage test.

Commitments for the principal payments and interest required on long-term
debt, including capital leases and other contractual obligations, are as
follows:

discussed above.

In addition to the above, the Company is obligated to pay approximately
$2.9 million annually related to its
post-retirement benefit plan and approximately $5.0 million annually to
multiemployer plans for the future service benefits of its hourly
employees. Also, the Series C Participating Preferred Stock is subject
to redemption at the Companys option at any time in whole but
not in part at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) one
thousand dollars per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on
such share computed to the date of redemption and (ii) 15% of
the fair market value of all of the outstanding shares of common
stock divided by the number of outstanding shares of Series C
Participating Preferred Stock. The portion of the redemption price
specified in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence will, at the
option of the Company, be payable either in cash or in shares of
common stock. The Series C Participating Preferred Stock is
entitled to receive dividends, at a rate per annum equal to 12%.
Dividends are payable quarterly in cash, if and when declared by the
Board of Directors and, to the extent not paid currently with respect
to any quarterly period, will accrue and compound quarterly. Unpaid
dividends of $5.4 million ($71.51 per share) as of
March 31, 2003 were accrued and included in other long-term
liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were approximately $35.2 million in the first quarter
of 2003 and are expected to total approximately $72.0 million in
2003. The Companys principal sources of liquidity for
funding of the remaining 2003 capital expenditures are funds derived from operations and
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for operating lease commitments as disclosed in the table of
contractual obligations above, the Company is not party to off-balance sheet
arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

The impact of inflation on the Companys costs, and the ability to pass on
cost increases in the form of increased sales prices, is dependent upon market
conditions. The Company has experienced significant cost increases in specific
materials and energy and has not been fully able to pass on these cost
increases to its customers for several years, although the Company did realize
some price increases in 2001 and 2002, primarily due to the abnormally high
energy costs experienced in 2001. Over the last three years, closing prices for
natural gas have fluctuated significantly from a low of $1.830 per MMBTU in
October 2001 to a high of $9.978 per MMBTU in January 2001, compared to an
average price of $2.238 per MMBTU from 1995 through 1999. Since the 2001 price
peak, natural gas prices have remained volatile. For March 2003, April 2003 and
May 2003, natural gas prices closed at $9.133, $5.146 and $5.123 per MMBTU,
respectively. A material increase in the price of natural gas would have a
material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and financial
condition.

##### Table of Contents



Seasonality

Due principally to the seasonal nature of the brewing and some other
segments of the beverage industry, in which demand is stronger during the
summer months, the Companys shipment volume is typically higher in the second
and third quarters. Consequently, the Company has historically built inventory
during the fourth and first quarters in anticipation of seasonal demands during
the second and third quarters. However, due to increased demand at the end of
2001 and the beginning of 2002, the Company shipped more than usual and built
up less inventory in those periods.

In addition, although the Company seeks to minimize downtime, it has
historically scheduled shutdowns of its plants for furnace rebuilds and machine
repairs in the fourth and first quarters of the year to coincide with scheduled
holiday and vacation time under its labor union contracts. These shutdowns
normally adversely affect profitability during the fourth and first quarters.




Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to interest rates based on a
floating benchmark rate (the prime rate or eurodollar rate), plus an applicable
margin. The applicable margin was fixed through February 2003, and thereafter
became a fixed spread based on the Companys level of excess availability. A
change in interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility could adversely
impact results of operations. A 10 percent fluctuation in the market rate of
interest would impact annual interest expense by approximately $0.3 million,
based on average borrowings outstanding during 2002. The Companys long-term
debt instruments are subject to fixed interest rates and, in addition, the
amount of principal to be repaid at maturity is also fixed. Therefore, the
Company is not subject to market risk from its long-term debt instruments.

Less than 1% of the Companys net sales are denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar, and the Company does not believe its total exposure
to currency fluctuations to be significant. The Company has hedged certain of
its estimated natural gas purchases, typically over a maximum of six to twelve
months, through the purchase of natural gas futures. The Company does not enter
into such hedging transactions for speculative trading purposes but rather to
lock in energy prices. Also, the Company has entered into put and call options
for purchases of natural gas. Accounting for these derivatives may increase
volatility in earnings.




Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation was carried out, within the 90 days prior to the filing of
this report, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules
13a-14 and 15d-14. Based on that evaluation, Anchors Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.

There were no significant changes in the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
and procedures subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in these controls and procedures.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In September 2001, The National Bank of Canada, acting on its own behalf
and on behalf of PNC Bank, filed a complaint, in Allegheny Common Pleas Court,
against Anchor, GGC, Consumers U.S. and certain other former affiliates of
Anchor. The complaint alleged, among other things, fraudulent conveyances made
by GGC to Anchor and tortious interference with the contractual relationship
between the bank and GGC and seeks monetary damages. The action will be heard in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. The Company
believes it is remote that the outcome of this matter will have a
material adverse effect on its financial position or results of
operations. A trial date is scheduled for September 2003.

In addition, the Company is, and from time to time may be, a party to
routine legal proceedings incidental to the operation of its business. The
outcome of any pending or threatened proceedings is not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or cash
flows of the Company, based on the Companys current understanding of the
relevant facts. Legal expenses incurred related to these contingencies are
generally expensed as incurred.

The Companys operations are subject to federal, state and local
requirements that are designed to protect the environment. Such requirements
have resulted in the Company being involved in related legal proceedings,
claims and remediation obligations. Based on the Companys current
understanding of the relevant facts, the Company does not believe that its
environmental exposure is in excess of the reserves reflected on its balance
sheet, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.




Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On February 7, 2003, the Company completed the offering of $300.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2013, issued under
the Indenture. The Senior Secured Notes are senior secured obligations of the
Company, ranking equal in right of payment with all existing and future
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to
all future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Senior Secured Notes
are secured by a first priority lien, subject to certain permitted
encumbrances, on substantially all of Anchors existing real property,
equipment and other fixed assets relating to Anchors nine operating glass
container manufacturing facilities. The collateral does not include inventory,
accounts receivable and intangible assets.

Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, net of fees, were
approximately $289.0 million and were used to repay 100% of the principal
amount outstanding under the First Mortgage Notes plus accrued interest thereon
(approximately $156.3 million in total), 100% of the principal amount
outstanding under the Term Loan plus accrued interest thereon and a prepayment
fee (approximately $20.4 million in total) and advances then outstanding under
the Revolving Credit Facility (approximately $66.9 million), which included
funds for certain of the Companys capital improvement projects. The remaining
proceeds of approximately $45.0 million were used to terminate certain
equipment leases by purchasing from the respective lessors the equipment leased
thereunder.
